Seeing Louis Armstrong on the moon would have been pretty damned cool, though. Can you dig it?

I can sorta understand the motivations of the holocaust deniers (of course, I don’t agree), but why all the moon conspiracies? Is it to do with the general anti-science climate pervading the country at this time? Very odd.

As time moves on, other events happen and the lunar landings leave the immediate or short-term memory of the general public. 20 years down the road, all it takes is a new generation of ignorant youth who did not live through the heady days of 1969 when Neil Armstrong made one giant leap for mankind, and to have someone tell them charismatically and forcefully, with superficially convincing pseudo-evidence, and you get a nation which responds to polls as above.

The Fine Print

Some things to consider. I will not necessarily be responding to (or even reading) comments. I generally do not block comments unless they are off-topic, merely a soap-box for the individual, or clearly spam. I reserve the right to ban persistent offenders. Occasionally a comment will be held up for moderation because it triggers a filter; in particular comments with four or more links will be delayed. Do not resubmit the comment - it will be posted when I get an opportunity. Lastly, commenting get automatically shut down three weeks after the post first appears. Have fun!
